Natural Questions

I want to try paleo, but I don't want to give up desserts. Are there any recipes out there that use real food? I'm not interested in almond flour or coconut flour, or margarine, or sweeteners other than fruit.

I make a Rote Grütze (German berry gelatin dessert) that you could do without the maple syrup that would be just fruit sweetened. The plain protein in the gelatin is a bonus and you can switch up the fruits as you like and along with whatever ones...

Never had the issue of not wanting to lose weight, well at least since 12 years old as I recall. Maybe you need to be eating bigger portions of your main meal and less concentration on dessert. Nothing wrong with a mix of fruit for those not...

There are other ways to get your Magnesium, though Natural Calm is awesome.

I brush my teeth with soap chips and a very soft, flossing-type toothbrush. I don't use regular toothpaste because it contains glycerin which would give teeth a slick feel, but also attracts germs. There are many other possible bad ingredients...

Just curious.. the natural calm instructions tell you to mix it with hot water and let it fizz.. wondering if it makes any difference whether it fizzes or not?
personally i like the taste of it in cold water better.

You can chill it after it fizzes. Or have it fizz in a small amount of hot water then add cold after its done.
I forget what chelate the natural calm uses but what ever it is it's there to make it more bioavailable. The reaction is probably...

When we hurt ourselves, why do we apply ice packs? Is it the same as taking tylenol for a fever? It seems like inflammation is useful when you have an actual injury and you wouldn't want to interfere with that process, no?

We ice things for a few reasons:

As I understand it, the actual problem is that the "taste" of sweet causes insulin to be secreted in anticipation of sugar. So, what you are asking is actually impossible. You want your cocoa to taste sweet without tasting sweet, i.e. you want...
